England will face a strong-looking Australia A team in their final warm-up match before the first Ashes Test in Brisbane.

Cameron White has been named as skipper of an exciting young line-up for the game in Tasmania, which takes place from November 17-20.

Tim Paine has been named as White's vice-captain in a team that has an average age of just 24.

National Selection Panel chairman Andrew Hilditch believes the four-day game offers some of Australia's rising stars an "exciting opportunity" to test themselves against international opponents.

"The NSP has picked a squad full of some of the best young talent in Australia," he said.

"This is an exciting opportunity for these players to play against a highly talented English team on the eve of the Vodafone Ashes series.

"We have seen quite a few of these players already in or around the Australian team set-up across the various formats and this challenge will provide them all with another good opportunity to show what they can do.

"Cameron White is a talented player and a good leader and along with Tim Paine they both have a lot of experience and will provide the group with strong leadership."

Promising batsmen Usman Khawaja and Callum Ferguson have both been picked to face England, though by the time the game gets underway in Hobart the selectors will have already picked a squad for the Ashes opener.

Phil Hughes will also be looking to impress the selectors having fallen down the pecking order since struggling in England last year.

"Every player in the batting line-up is capable of forcing their way into the Australian side this summer," Hilditch added.

"Phil Hughes and Paine have already showed what they are capable of in Test cricket and Shaun Marsh, Callum Ferguson, and Steve Smith have already played some outstanding cricket for Australia in the limited-over formats.

"Usman Khawaja is yet to play for Australia but has again started the season in impressive fashion and it will be great to see him play against strong opposition."

The bowling attack includes seamers Peter George, who played the second Test on Australia's recent tour of India, Mitchell Starc and Mark Cameron, as well as spin duo Steve Smith and Steve O'Keefe.
